conrad

it was a year ago today...
paul and i were at target when mom called. she was hysterical and phoebe was screaming in the background. all i heard was, conrad almost drowned/emergency room/please come now. the earth stood still. i burst into tears, somehow i told paul what had happened and we left to the er. the drive down was long and my head was picturing all those things i didn't want to. man how we prayed! the rest was a blur...i remember seeing conrad hooked up to tubes laying on ransoms lap, katie holding his hand listening to the doctor, praying big time in my heart, phoebe screaming beyond screaming, feeling numb, praying more, and wanting and willing to do anything to help.
it was a horrible life shaking moment that has deeply increased my faith. i am so grateful that my heavenly father let us keep conrad with us, i am so grateful that ransom and katie were given incredible strength from angels to help them and make them stronger. our prayers were answered and i (more than often, and when i see conrad), say a prayer of gratitude for him.
conrad was my therapy for so many years and i love him as if he was my own. he is such a joy to be with and has so much to offer. he is an incredible boy. i love him...
